Abstract
Among the many mechanisms which may regulate acetylcholine (ACh) release from mammalian motor nerve terminals is the possibility of negative feedback by the neurotransmitter itself on prejunctional cholinoceptor sites. Autoregulation of neurotransmitter release has been documented in adrenergic systems (21) and in central and autonomic cholinergic systems (12, 15, 22). Negative feedback of released ACh through presynaptic muscarinic receptors has been shown in cerebral cortex (22), hippocampus (15), guinea pig ileum (12), sympathetic ganglion of the bull frog (13) and rat atrium (24).
